Fabio Favoretto
I am a marine ecologist with experience in remote sensing. I am interested in studing marine habitats and biodiversity to understand their patterns in space and time to aid conservation efforts.
Currently searching for a data science position that allows me to build remote sensing algorithms and ecological models with tools for visualization and interactivity that can be understood by a non technical audience
